Test a new way to manage the breathing tube cuff during nasal intubation
This study tests a method for inflating and deflating the cuff on a breathing tube during nasal intubation (putting the tube through the nose) during an elective dental/maxillofacial surgery. It may help make the procedure safer and easier by improving how the cuff is managed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (adult surgery) and will have elective dental or jaw (maxillofacial) surgery requiring nasal intubation through the nose.
- Your overall health is in ASA class I to III (generally healthy to moderately ill).
- You do not have a bleeding problem (a coagulopathy).
- You do not have an abnormality of the upper airway (your throat/nose passage).
- You are not at high risk of choking/food or stomach contents going into your airway (aspiration risk).
- You (or the legal decision-maker) are willing to participate and have not refused the study.

This study tests two tools used to help you breathe during general anesthesia for planned surgery. The goal is to find out which one is easier and safer for patients like you.
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube (called an LMA) during general anesthesia. It aims to see which method works best on the first try, which may help patients breathe safely during surgery.
This study tests a newer type of video laryngoscope (a tool with a camera to help place a breathing tube) to see if it works well and safely for all adult patients having surgery with general anesthesia. The goal is to make sure the tube is placed correctly and to learn why it might be difficult in some patients, helping improve anesthesia care for everyone.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
This study checks the position of a breathing tube (laryngeal mask airway) using a tiny camera (bronchoscope) during general anesthesia. The goal is to see if the camera helps confirm that the tube is placed correctly, which may improve safety and comfort.
